I'm trying to trigger an animation declared in the window's XAML file from the window's vb code when an event is raised (calling a function), like a window's "loaded" event.
Here's how I declare the animation (as a storyboard):
Dim StartAnimation As Storyboard = DirectCast(FindName("ServiceOn"), Storyboard) Dim StopAnimation As Storyboard = DirectCast(FindName("ServiceOff"), Storyboard)
And here's the code for the function that is failing:
Public Class Form1 Private GIFAnim As Image = Image.FromFile("c:cointosscointoss_ani.gif") Private frames As Integer Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
This is so that the animation has time to play and stop and then the rest of the code will display the other picture and the numbers. Is this possible? I tried timer and sleep but I cant get them to work.
I'm making a program and was wondering if someone could please help me (its a console app) to display words from a string that the user has inputted starting with certain characters?

I'm a new to visual basic and I need to create a boat animation in vb in visual studio 2008. The animation needs to be able to move from left to right, then stop in a specific place and then move from bottom to top. However before it moves it should bring up a labels. I have managed to move the boat from right to left using the timer and left and top assets but unable to stop it on a particular place on the form.
I am using a Gif animation on my Mainform. When i open a second form and then return to the mainform - the animation stops. How can i make sure that the animation restarts after the second form was closed?
I'm a bit confused when it comes to setting the start location of a form, relative to another form.I know how to set the start location for a form, however, I have a "main" form, which is behind this form. The main form will be displaying different images, labels, ect. I need the second form to display at the bottom of the main form. The main form's resolution is 800x600, and the bottom form is 800x65. I tried to set the bottom form's location to 0,535, which WOULD make it right at the bottom of the main form, but it seems that it puts it at that location relative to the user's display resolution.So basically, I just need help with getting this form to appear at the bottom of the main form. I read a bit about "containers", but am not sure exactly if they would work for this, and if they did, how exactly I would incorporate them into my situation.
I need to make a button invisible at the start up of a VB form. However, when text is entered into an input textbox the button needs to become visible without a click event procedure. When the button to enter the text from the textbox into an array is clicked the button needs to become invisible again unitl more text is entered into the box, repeating the cycle. I have found related topics but they don't cover this.
I'am trying to write a program for projects management.It is based on MS SQL Express Server 2008 database.I have 2 forms.In first form I have list of projects (using DataGridView and showing all projects).So if user click on Project name cell second form will open with Project details (using text boxes and labels to show one project).I try something like this:
Public strValue as String Private Sub DataGridView1_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellClick
I am trying to set a form position before it shows but i cant get it working.Form Name: ColorCentraling.vb
I've tried: Private Sub ClickNPC_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ClickNPC.Tick
[Code]...
are 2 integers which represent a number which does not need to be explained.There i've made a DIM as the form but new! I've tried settings its location but its not possible for me.I know this is possible because: I've visited many VB.NET 2008 Programs that do this
Ok so my main form takes around 5 seconds to load i can't make it so that my load subs are on a seperate thread because too many cross thread calls being made besides i want a splash screen anyway i want a splash screen on a seperate thread that can update status while main thread is loading this way main thread carries the load subs and invokes status label changes in the splash form which is on another thread
this is my code
Dim SPForm As SplashForm Public Sub LoaderSub(ByVal Splashed As Boolean) If Splashed = False Then
[Code]...
what happens is the splash form shows and so does the main form but they both lag for 5 seconds (as if they are both on main thread) how do i make it so that the splash form loads from the new thread? I thought the way i did it that's what should happen...
EDIT: also why did code wraps failed to show proper vb code?
I have a "Please Wait..." form that I show when doing some long task. This works quite well. But I cannot seem to control the opening position of the form. Currently I am using:
and this is just being ignored. The window opens at random locations. If I change it to CenterScreen, that works! But I don't want it center screen, I want it centered on the parent. Can I manually set the location? I am using VB 2008 Express and the wait form is a plain windows form.
Im Using VB 2008. I have MsgBox() statements in all Mouse & Form Click events to TEST & NOTHING FIRES during Form Load when I click on Form or Button Controls !!! The Form Load event contains code for Displaying the Label.Text control many times with changes in the Text to simmulate annimation.
I want to link sql server and vb.net (ADO.NET) . I'm using visual basic 2008 express edition and sql server management studio.
My problem is how to perform a search starting from the completion of a form (in vb.net ). On pressing the button search it verifies if the records are in the table (in my case FoaieParcursMasina).
SQL Server: Step1: Create the table and insert into them the values (full DDL): -- creating the table FoaieParcursMasina CREATE TABLE FoaieParcursMasina
It's a real pain to scroll through the properties viewer and copy and paste each customised value for 30+ objects on a form... I was wondering if there'd be an easy piece of code or way about getting an (at least partially) automated printout/view of all the properties of the objects.
Was thinking some sort of private sub I could past into the bottom of the program and run on load, that gets all objects, and outputs the non-default properties to a report or something?
well basically i created a new instance of Form1 because i do not like to use a default form instance. but of course doing so gives me 2 Form1s. is there anyway to stop the default form instance from being generated? [code]
I have recently created an application where a lot of data is loaded into objects when the application starts up, and other data as it is required. For example if the user requests the catalogue page then it will load all the top level category data into objects of type Category. This will then stay there to be used by other users (who will therefore not have to load this data into objects) and can be altered by admin if they happen to login during the same application instance. I know this is not the most efficient solution, as pointed out below, but it works and the page load, at the moment, is not too long. It is very quick if most of the required data is already loaded into objects. It is also tailored to the business' needs - unlike other techniques such as Linq-to-SQL.
I have a Parent form that loads a child form and I only want to allow one instance of the child form. I have this on the button to open the form. Stepping through the code with the debugger it "appears" to work OK when the form is open (I say appears because nothing changes) but when the form is closed it doesn't open as I would expect. What am I missing?
I have alot of forms here who need 10 or more seconds to load when the method InitializeComponent() starts to run. It have a lot of pics for that is too slow to load. I need to do a loading screen to show while the initializeComponent() components is running.
First off the Treelist does not display data until it is almost finished loading the files. I tried to refresh the treelist but it still does the same.
Private Sub BtnBrowse_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnBrowse.Click Try If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then ' List files in the folder. [Code] .....
i deleted my previous start up form to be replaced by another one but each time i launch the application,the deleted start up form is still displayed.i dont know from where this deleted start up form is being loaded.
